TRACKING YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

A new book by Judith Purman, a long-time composting advocate, provides an easy to use guide for people who want to do their part to battle climate change. "Tracking Your Carbon Footprint: A Step-By-Step Guide To Understanding and Inventorying Greenhouse Gas Emissions," introduces the reader to the basics of global climate change; the what, why and how to inventory your emissions; how to use the inventory to set goals and reduce emissions; and how to determine whether or not it makes sense to generate carbon credits. "Consumers now expect their employers, government and schools to embrace the notion that one's style of living can negatively affect the environment today and for future generations," writes Purman. "Likewise, homeowners, businesses and organizations are moving to more sustainable modes of operating, not just because it is the right thing to do, but because sustainability, being 'green' and reducing your carbon fooprint have value in the marketplace." The book is $10.95 plus shipping and handling and can be ordered on line at www.thepurmangroup.com.
